Alright, guys, so I’ve been diving deep into Solo Leveling: Arise, and let me tell you, figuring out the best weapons? It’s been a JOURNEY. I started out just grabbing whatever looked cool, you know? Big mistake. HUGE. I was getting wrecked left and right.
So, I rolled up my sleeves and started experimenting. I mean, really experimenting. I tried every weapon I could get my hands on. Swords, daggers, staffs… you name it, I probably swung it around like a maniac.
First Attempts (and Epic Fails)
First, I thought, “Okay, bigger must be better, right?” So I went for these massive two-handed swords. Looked awesome, felt powerful… until I realized I was moving like a snail. Enemies were just dancing around me, chipping away at my health while I was stuck in these loooong attack animations. Nope. Not gonna work.
Then I swung the other way. I figured, “Speed is king!” So I grabbed the fastest-looking daggers I could find. I was zipping around, dodging attacks… but my damage was pathetic. It was like I was tickling the monsters. Another fail.
Finding the Sweet Spot
After countless deaths (seriously, I lost count), I started noticing something. It wasn’t just about the weapon’s stats. It was about how it felt to use. Did it combo well? Did the animations flow smoothly? Could I interrupt attacks easily? This is where it gets, intersting, man.
I spent hours in the training area, just practicing different weapon combos. I even started writing down notes (yeah, I got that serious). I was looking for weapons that felt responsive, that let me chain attacks together seamlessly, and that had a good balance of damage and speed.
I started to realize it is not just about stats! I mean a weapon with the stats like crazy might be clunky to use. After some practices, I began checking the weapon skills, testing out combos, and figuring out how each weapon can be used, you will understand what I am talking about, haha.
My (Current) Top Picks
So, after all that trial and error, here’s what I’ve found to be working really well for me right now:
- Demonic Fire Grimoire:This is the weapon that I picked up for magic damage. The range is great, the attacks are flashy, and it just melts enemies. I crafted this with the help from some friends.
- Shadow Scythe:I love this. So cool, when I use the skills, it can pull enemies together, and the damage is insane. I heard many players recommended this, so I got one to try.
- The Huntsman:I like using a blade and this is totally my thing. It has decent attack, and the critical damage is satisfying.
Keep in mind, this is just what’s working for me right now. The “best” weapon really depends on your playstyle and what feels good to you. But hopefully, my painful journey can save you some time (and some virtual deaths!). My biggest piece of advice? Don’t be afraid to experiment! Grab everything, try it out, and see what clicks. You might be surprised at what you end up liking.
The grind is real, it is not easy to keep crafting and testing, but it pays off! Don’t be afraid to experiment, seriously, go and try all kinds of different combinations. And most important of all, Have fun!
